Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
So have you all done it? My dr. said it's a 40% chance of death if someone with HVC gets Hep A. On the other hand, my homeopath, whom I've trusted for over a decade, is anti-vaccine (I haven't asked him about this specific one, though. He may say to do it. He told me to do tetnus for my kids.)
Is anyone else anti-vaccine in general but choosing to do that one?

Yes a dose of A or B can totally overwhelm your already struggling liver.
Leave the vaccine debate to those that can afford to gamble.
BTW you must be tested for B antibodies a few weeks after to be sure the vaccine took. I had to be inoculated a second time as the first one didn't confer immunity to me.
